McLaren’s Oscar Piastri finished in the 2^nd place, almost 2 seconds behind the winner, ahead of Carlos Sainz who took the last place at the podium.

Max dominated the 1^st half of the race, building a lead of 8 seconds ahead of his 2^nd pit stop, but a slow tire change allowed Norris to be only 3 seconds behind the Dutch as they returned to the track with 20 laps until the end of the race.

The champion had problems with his car after his last pit stop with his new tyres and by lap 59 of 71 he and Lando were fighting for the win within a second.

On lap 64, Lando tried to overcome Max, and that was when the clash between the 2 bolids happened, which left George Russell with the victory.
